About a year and a half ago I posted a script I made for deleting movie content in your library not being watched. Folks really seemed to like it, and I still get comments on that thread every so often. So I've updated it!
Far and away, the two biggest requests I got were:
- Make it do TV, too
- Make a dry-run mode
- Edit: Added just now: a protected mode when you volume mount a
protectedfile!
The code is now available on github here:
https://github.com/ASK-ME-ABOUT-LOOM/purgeomatic
Even better, no installation is required. You can run it as a docker container like so:
docker run --rm -it --env-file .env --network=host ghcr.io/ask-me-about-loom/purgeomatic:latest python delete.movies.unwatched.py
It now supports TV series as well. Thanks to a suggestion from /u/JimLahey-, I was able to get my head around the idea - I had always thought of managing TV shows as "collections of seasons" of media, but the reality is, if nobody has watched anything related to a TV show in a while, the whole thing can go! And that's what this does:
docker run --rm -it --env-file .env --network=host ghcr.io/ask-me-about-loom/purgeomatic:latest python delete.tv.unwatched.py
No more editing python, either. Create yourself a .env file, set up all of your config, and even enable dry run mode, so you can test to your heart's content:
$ docker run --rm -it --env-file .env --network=host ghcr.io/ask-me-about-loom/purgeomatic:latest python delete.movies.unwatched.py
DRY_RUN enabled!

To use protected mode, just create a text file with one TMDB/TVDB ID per line and volume mount it as /app/protected like so:
docker run --rm -it --env-file .env --network=host -v /home/user/protected:/app/protected ghcr.io/ask-me-about-loom/purgeomatic:latest python delete.movies.unwatched.py
Good luck! Please let me know if you have questions or problems and I'll do my best to help out!
Let's not pretend all of this stuff is high art. Look, if they really need to watch Krampus: Origins, they can download it again.
Sure, but who is seeding it? Someone who hasn't deleted it.
:laughs in usenet:
It's new enough that you don't need torrents. Just grab it from Usenet.
